• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Multiple Textures to shader

  hi.. im making a projekt, and want to send more than one texture to my vertex shader... im using the Textures[0] from the graphicsdevice.. and trying to use the first 10 spaces in this texturecollecion.. and have the first 10 TEXCOORD's defined in the shader. When this is running i only have access to the first texture [0] and all the others have the same texture.. should i somehow tell xna how many textures im putting into this collextion or what could be the problem... They are just texture coordinate registers. They dont hold textures. Either way you will need samplers. if you dont want the texture in the shaders you can do: sampler2D Texture0 : register( s0 ); sampler2D Texture1 : regi ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums API (HLLAPI) errors when accessed from VBA.

  Hi, thanks for taking a look at this. I use VBA often to create macros that screen-scrape from a 3270 emulator. (Attachmate Extra 6.7 if important.) I am trying to access the HLLAPI (from Attachmate) from Excel. I am declaring as follows: Public Declare Sub WinHLLAPI Lib "WHLAPI32.dll" (Func%, ByVal HllDataStr$, HllDataLgth%, PsPos%) Public Declare Function WinHLLAPIStartup Lib "WHLAPI32.dll" (ByVal version%, ByVal Buffer$) As Long Public Declare Function WinHLLAPICleanup Lib "WHLAPI32.dll" () As Long Then the first time I call I am using: WinHLLAPIStartup 257, Space(100) I get a runtime error, #53 - file not found. The file is there and the calls are ...Show All

• Windows Forms user access control

  hi all, i'm starting a C# windows application and need to implement user level security and access control. i've tried researching what the .NET way would be for implementing this, but all the topics i come across deal with system level security (files, registry). basically, i'll have a login screen and a database holding the user profiles and permissions. once a user is logged in, i need to control what forms the user can navigate to and what actions the user can perform on a given form. the application is data centric, so most of the permissions will be for things like "add", "edit", "delete" and "view". since i know nothing about how to do this, i can't expect someone to lay it all out for m ...Show All

• .NET Development Timer is not firing sometimes when handling multithreaded Application

  I am facing a problem that the timer is not getting fired when the application runs for some minutes. I am using Windows XP SP2 for running the application with .NET framework 2.0 The objective of using the timer is to send a cyclic message to the hardware at periodic interval I am using the System.Timers which fires every 2 seconds and the processing time involved in the elapsed event is around 700 milliseconds only. The same is tried with Threading Timer also and the behaviour is the same. Kindly clarify if there is a solution for this Thanks , Sangeetha Hard to tell from your description but it sounds like your timer object is getting garbage col ...Show All

• Visual Basic Crystal Reports in VS 2005

  We are using VStudio 2005 Professional at work and it comes with a version of Crystal Reports. Does anyone know if this version of CR is a sample or is it a full version Thanks. You could insert the possible empty field into a seperate section, like it's own detail section, and set the default height of both the field and the section as small as possible and set the can grow property to true, allowing the field to expand and contract based on the presence and length of data appearing in the field. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Load test -Context parameter '$HIDDEN1.__VIEWSTATE' not found in test context

  When I tried to run a load test with more than 1 user, encountered the following exception. WebTestException Context parameter '$HIDDEN1.__VIEWSTATE' not found in test context I has set up a constant load. This error did not appear in load tests for other projects. That loadtest was done for an emergency we had 2 weeks ago and was in relation to a suspected memory leak. In your load test, there is a property called Think Profile under each scenario, is it set to 'on' or 'normal distribution' Think profile -off Is your load test using connection pool or connection per user connectionperuser 2 ...Show All

• Visual Basic Debugging .NET code and VB6 code

  I am hosting a .NET UserControl inside a VB6 MDI(as per article http://blogs.msdn.com/vbteam/archive/2006/11/02/interop-roadmap-usercontrols-mdi-and-data.aspx ) Could anyone suggest a good debugging strategy to trace code running in the .NET control while being hosted in the VB6 app Hi Eric, I just tried it out and it worked fine on my machine; are you sure you referenced both TLBs When you add the control to your VB6 Toolbox it'll automatically add a reference to <NameofYourLibrary>Ctl, but you also need to add a reference to <NameofYourLibrary>. The reason is the events fire through the first TLB, not the Ctl one that VB6 creates. Other than that though your code looks fine. Hope that helps, Jonath ...Show All

• Windows Forms Changing size property

  How do I enable the changing of size of a control like combobox Thanks. regards Alu Hi everyone I solved that ComboBox height problem making first Panel container and dropping ComboBox to this container. To change Combos height simply change Panels Font size property as ComboBox's height depends by font size. At runtime you can use ComboBox.SetBoundsCore method protected override void SetBoundsCore( Int32 x, Int32 y, Int32 width, Int32 height, BoundsSpecified specified ); and again you need think 'height' by font units plus some border space. I think. Hope this helps you. ...Show All

• .NET Development MSXML2 vs .NET

  I've been having a little bit of succes employing my past knowledge of MSXML2 to create and send requests to an Axis based webservices. But clearly there must be a .NET way to achieve the same result. Currently I read request from a file sub the proper fields and parse the result with MSXML2.DOMDocument. This seems like a pain considering that in some point in time I need to select nodes and find values in these responses. What I have in MSXML2 (and works) is found below. How do I get this done in the .NET FW static public string sendRequest( string message ) { output.WriteLine( string.Format( @"{0:yyyy\/MM\/dd HH\:mm\:ss.ff (zz)} > {1}", DateTime.Now, message ) ); // // create request // MSXML2.XMLHTTPClass http; ...Show All

• SQL Server Default to NULL instead of blank/empty string during flat file import

  Hi, In SSIS flat file import using fastload, I'm trying to import data into SQL 2005 previously created tables. The table may contain column that are NULLable BUT there is NO DEFAULT for them. If the incoming data from flat files contains nothing either between the delimeters, how can I have a NULL value inserted in the column instead of blank/empty string I didn't find an easy flag unless I'm doing something wrong. I know of at least two ways to do it the hard way: 1- set the DEFAULT(NULL) for EVERY column that needs this behaviour 2-set up some Derived Column option in the package to return NULL if the value is missing. Both of the above are time consuming since I'm dealing with many tables. Is there a quick option t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Use String to reference form controls

  Hi folks, this must be an easy one for many of you, but at the moment my bleary eyes cannot find it: I have a string (say myString) that contains the name of a control ( e.g. "TextBox1") Now, I want to change the contents of that textbox, like TextBox1.Text = "This Text", but instead use the string to reference the control. Thus: Me.Textbox1.Text = "my Text" shoud become something like: Me.Controls.myString.Text = "my Text" Help appreciated, Thymen Hi folks, yes, the sample provided works, I tried that already, but not for what I am doing right now.<< should have been more specific in my thread start>>.
